When looking up at the sky, you might think galaxies have always looked the way they do today. But a new study from Princeton ...

Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope spotted surprisingly cold, dense hydrogen clouds embedded inside the Milky Way’s ...

The Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids will peak together on the night of Tuesday, July 29, into the early hours ...

The Bogong moth migrates 1,000 km, using stars in the Milky Way for navigation, a first for insects. They sense Earth's magnetic field as a backup.

At the heart of a black hole lies what’s called a “singularity” — a point where our laws of physics break down, and gravity becomes infinite. But the defining edge of a black hole is the event horizon ...

COZMIC clones of the Milky Way Each COZMIC (COZMIC I, COZMIC II, and COZMIC III) run starts with the same early‑ universe snapshot but tweaks the way invisible particles behave. Instead of a single ...

Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way. The exoplanet, a gas giant named AT2021uey b, orbits a low-mass star and is located about 3,200 light-years away from Earth ...

Instead, “the left and right edges of this picture simply represent material in the Milky Way that is located in the opposite direction of the Galactic Center from our point of view ...

Dr. Ben-Dor adds: “For early humans, fire use was not a given, and at most archaeological sites dated earlier than 400,000 years ago, there is no evidence of the use of fire. Nevertheless, at a number ...

Surveying nearby galaxies in the process of merging with other galaxies, astronomers have identified massive, dense star factories, unlike any found in the Milky Way. The findings provide a rare ...

A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide. Its host galaxy is a quasar called ...

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.
